Patty Hill was a kindergarten principal in Louisville, Kentucky; her sister Mildred was a pianist and
composer. The sisters used "Good Morning to All" as a song that young children would find easy to sing.
The combination of melody and lyrics in X first appeared in print in 1912, and probably existed even
earlier.
None of the early appearances of X lyrics included credits or copyright notices. The Summy Company
registered a copyright in 1935, crediting authors Preston Ware Orem and Mrs. R. R. Forman. In 1988,
Warner/Chappell Music purchased the company owning the copyright for US$25 million, with the value
of X estimated at US$5 million. Based on the 1935 copyright registration, Warner claimed that the
United States copyright will not expire until 2030, and that unauthorized public performances of the
song are illegal unless royalties are paid to Warner. In the European Union, the copyright for the song
expired on January 1, 2017.
The American copyright status of X began to draw more attention recently. In September 2015, a federal
judge declared that the Warner/Chappell copyright claim was invalid, ruling that the copyright
registration applied only to a specific piano arrangement of the song, and not to its lyrics and melody.
The court thus declared that X was hence in the public domain.

X and Y are Italian for soft and hard, respectively. What is today known as a X is actually a shortened
form of XY, the original Italian name for it.
“Falling X” or “X drop” is a trope common in cartoons. To quote TVTropes,
"X which is being lifted via pulley to be moved into or out of someone's high-rise apartment will always fall,
almost always on someone/something, often with a resounding "BONG". Hilarity usually ensues. A common
gag more often seen in cartoons includes the character rising up from within the wreckage with a mouthful of
__ like teeth. Bonus points if they start playing by themselves."

or expression, but looking up at the man with wide open eyes, as was his custom, said: “What do you say
about pouring a libation to some deity from this cup? May I, or not?” “X,” said he, “we prepare only as much
as we think is enough.” “I understand,” said X; “but I may and must pray to the gods that my departure
hence be a fortunate one; so I offer this prayer, and may it be granted.” With these words he raised the cup
to his lips and very cheerfully and quietly drained it. Up to that time most of us had been able to restrain
our tears fairly well, but when we watched him drinking and saw that he had drunk the __, we could do so
no longer, but in spite of myself my tears rolled down in floods, so that I wrapped my face in my cloak and
wept for myself; for it was not for him that I wept, but for my own misfortune in being deprived of such a
friend. [........]

18. 16. FOR ALL YOU STONERS
In economics, the X is the apparent causal relationship between the increase in the economic development
of a specific sector (for example natural resources) and a decline in other sectors (like the manufacturing
sector or agriculture). The supposed mechanism is that as revenues increase in the growing sector, the
given nation's currency becomes stronger compared to currencies of other nations. This results in the
nation's other exports becoming more expensive for other countries to buy, and imports becoming
cheaper, making those sectors less competitive. The term was coined in 1977 by The Economist to describe
the decline of the manufacturing sector in Y after the discovery a large natural gas field in 1959.

68. 1. MAN WITH CIGARETTE IS STEPHEN KING
THE YOUNG GIRL IS DREW BARRYMORE
The man with the cigarette is Stephen King, the famous horror writer and film
director. The young lady lighting his cigarette is none other than actress Drew
Barrymore.
The scene took place back in 1984 at the premiere of the film Firestarter,
slightly redundant as the picture has a lit match in it. The movie itself was
based on the Stephen King novel of the same name and Barrymore acted as
the star of it at only nine years old.
69. 2. NOBODY REMEMBERS THE 3RD ONE
X was born on May 16, 1965 to Croatian
immigrant parents, Kristo and Maria, in
Compton, California. He enjoyed huge success
and fame with Y, which he had cofounded with
A. Seemingly on top of the world, Y's success
was short-lived because of an unfortunate
event, because of which Y was permanently
shut down. After this, X has at times worked
with his compatriot from Y, B at B's new
venture Z. B originally asked X to come work
with him at Z full time, but he declined, stating
people would refer to it as "the second Y" and
he did not want it for A's sake.
75. 4. JUST ONE MORE TURN!
X is a series of strategy video games first released in 1991. All titles in the series share similar gameplay,
centered on building an empire on a macro-scale from prehistory up to the near future. One may win by
military conquest, achieving a certain level of culture, building an interstellar space ship, or achieving the
highest score, among other means.
This series is known for spawning a meme, "Nuclear Y", where Y is one of the leaders in the
game. Among fans of the games, Y has gained much notoriety for his obsessive nuclear warmongering,
which is in stark contrast to his real life counterpart.
This was originally caused by a bug in the first game of the series, where Y was given the lowest number
possible, a rating of 1. However, when a country adopted democracy, it was granted -2 to opponent
aggression levels. This sent Y’s rating into the negative, which swung it back around to 255 — the
highest possible rating available, and thus, the infamous warmonger was born. This behaviour was
preserved by the developers in later games as an easter egg.
78. 5. LIFE IS LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES
In the lead actor's words, "The film is non-political and thus non-judgmental. "Nevertheless, CNN's
Crossfire debated whether the film promoted conservative values or was an indictment of the
counterculture movement of the 1960s. Thomas Byers, in a Modern Fiction Studies article, called the film
"an aggressively conservative film".
It has been noted that while X follows a very conservative lifestyle, Y's life is full of countercultural
embrace, complete with drug usage, promiscuity, and antiwar rallies [....] Jennifer Wang also notes the
film's screenwriter, Eric Roth, when developing the screenplay from the novel, had "...transferred all of X's
flaws and most of the excesses committed by Americans in the 1960s and 1970s to Y."
ID the film
81. 6. RIGHT WING STUFF
X is an American conservative movement, loosely allied with the conservative wing of the Republican
Party. Members of the movement have called for a reduction of the national debt of the United States and
federal budget deficit by reducing government spending, and for lower taxes. The movement opposes
government-sponsored universal healthcare and has been described as a mixture of libertarian, populist,
and conservative activism. It has sponsored multiple protests and supported various political candidates
since 2009.
The movement's name refers to a political protest that was a watershed event in the launch of the
American Revolution.
Y, former Governor of Alaska and the Republican Party nominee for Vice President of the United States in
the 2008 election (alongside presidential nominee, Arizona Senator Z) identifies as part of this movement.
On the day of the election (4th November 2008), a satirical pornographic film was released that satirized Y,
called "Who's Nailin Y".

93. 10. PROPAGANDA AT ITS BEST
X is an iconic photograph taken by Joe Rosenthal on February 23, 1945, which depicts six United States
Marines raising a U.S. flag atop Mount Suribachi, during a certain battle. Eventually it became the only
photograph to win the Pulitzer Prize for Photography in the same year as its publication, and came to be
regarded in the United States as one of the most significant and recognizable images of the war.
Y is another very famous photograph that was directly inspired by X. But unlike X, Y was both staged and
doctored. Noting the publicity the X had received, Z [the photographer] received orders to take a similar
photo that would symbolize their victory. Z carried with him a large ___, sewn from three tablecloths for
this very purpose, by his uncle. The photograph was later edited to erase a wristwatch and add smoke to
the sky.

97. 11. I WANNA _____________!
X was a peaceful political demonstration that occurred on the 50th anniversary of the Molotov–
Ribbentrop Pact between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. The pact and its secret protocols divided
Eastern Europe into spheres of influence and led to Soviet occupation of the three countries in 1940.
X illustrated solidarity among the three nations. It has been described as an effective publicity campaign,
and an emotionally captivating and visually stunning scene.
An excerpt from a 2011 interview with a demonstrator:
"I stood here," said ___, gamely stepping into the roadside snow and extending her arms as she did at 7pm
that historic day. "Of course, then it was warm, it was right."
I asked what it had felt like. "It was nothing very touching. We just all linked up and then we went home."
A similar protest was recently carried out in Bihar, in support of total prohibition.

X is an American singer and dancer. He is widely known for popularizing the twist dance style, with his
hit cover of "The Twist", and is the only recording artist to place five albums in the Top 12 at once.
The performer has often claimed to have personally changed the way we dance to the beat of music, as
when he told Billboard, "Anyplace on the planet, when someone has a song that has a beat, they're on
the floor dancing apart to the beat. And before X, it wasn't here." Clay Cole agreed: "X has never been
properly acknowledged for one major contribution to pop culture—X and the Twist got adults out and
onto the dance floor for the first time. Before the Twist dance phenomenon, grownups did not dance to
teenage music."
118. 13. “WHO” TF IS THIS?
It’s common to find, in the blank spaces of 13th and 14th century English texts, sketches and notes from
medieval readers. And scattered through this marginalia is an oddly recurring scene: a brave knight in shining
armor facing down a X.
No one knows what, exactly, the scenes really mean. The British Library says that the scenes could represent
the Resurrection, or it could be a stand in for the Lombards, “a group vilified in the early middle ages for
treasonous behaviour, the sin of usury, and ‘non-chivalrous comportment in general.’”
The valiant X could be a commentary on social oppression, or it could just be medieval humor, says Got
Medieval: “We’re supposed to laugh at the idea of a knight being afraid of attacking such a “heavily armored”
opponent. Silly knight, it’s just a X! “
Lisa Spangenberg floated another idea. She says that “the armored X fighting the armored knight is a reminder
of the inevitability of death,” a sentiment captured in Psalm 58 of the bible: “Like a X that melteth away into
slime, they shall be taken away; like a dead-born child, they shall not see the sun.”

126. 15. “ONE DAY, YOU WILL BE OLD ENOUGH TO START READING
FAIRYTALES AGAIN.”
X was a British novelist and Christian apologist who is best known for the series Y. Despite being
targeted at children, Y contained strong religious symbolism, including a character he described as an
"alternative version of Jesus as the form in which Christ might have appeared in an alternative reality.“
X and fellow novelist Z were close friends. They were active in the informal Oxford literary group known
as the Inklings, which was an group of literary enthusiasts at the University of Oxford who praised the
value of narrative in fiction and encouraged the writing of fantasy.

the Z case, she had testified against the Y. Z, the financer of one of her films, ___ ___ ____ ____, was
arrested in 2000 for having connections with W, a member of Y. Unlike several of her colleagues, X
repeated in court her earlier statement that she had received extortion threats during the shooting of the
film. After her testimony, she was given witness protection and was forced to stay out of the public eye
for two months. Thirteen other witnesses before her, including celebrities Salman Khan and Shahrukh
Khan, were witnesses in the case but later retracted their earlier statements. X was the only witness who
did not become hostile to the prosecution and was widely applauded for her stance.

132. 17. UPSETS GALORE
The 1954 FIFA World Cup Final between West Germany and Hungary is famously known as “ ___ ______ __
___”. Going into the final, Hungary were firm favourites for the title having routed West Germany 8-3 in the
group stages. But the final saw West Germany beat the heavily favoured Golden Team of Hungary 3–2. The
match was played in heavy rain, conditions that the German side had christened "Fritz Walter weather", as
Walter was known for playing his best football in the wet. In addition, the German team had a trick under
their sleeve, which might have tilted the odds in their favour.
134. 17. THE MIRACLE OF BERN
The West German team was equipped with boots supplied by Adidas that featured hitherto unknown,
exchangeable, screw-in studs. The boots could be adapted to any weather, enabling the German players to
wear their regular footwear despite the adverse conditions.
135. 18. THE MOST FAMOUS HORNET
When lifelong Watford supporter X became club chairman and director in 1976, he declared an ambition to
take the team into the First Division. He appointed Graham Taylor as manager and together, they would
carry Watford, then a Fourth Division side, to heights the club had never previously seen. In the space of
seven years, the club had climbed from bottom place in the lowest division of The Football League to top
position in the highest division, eventually finishing runners up to Liverpool. Remarkably, this wasn't even
the pinnacle of Taylor's time at Watford. That came in 1984, when he took the club to the final of the FA
Cup. Overcome with emotion and pride in the build-up, X famously welled up on camera when the Watford
end joined in the traditional chorus of Abide With Me. Although, heartbreakingly for them, Watford lost the
final to Everton, X would later cite the final as one of the proudest days of his life.
144. 21. X,Y AND THE INDIAN SIGNIFICANCE
X , celebrated every year on Y is also known as Gwangbokjeol ("the day the light returned") in South
Korea and as Chogukhaebangŭi nal ("Liberation of the Fatherland Day") in North Korea. It is the only
Korean holiday that is currently celebrated on both sides of the Korean Divide.
This day, Y is very special for us, Indians too because of something that happened a long time ago.

Clicking on the first link in the main text of a Wikipedia article, and then repeating the process for
subsequent articles, would usually lead to the X article. As of February 2016, 97% of all articles in
Wikipedia eventually led to the article X. The remaining articles lead to an article without any outgoing
wikilinks, to pages that do not exist, or get stuck in loops. This has gone up from 94.52% in 2011.
There have been some theories on this phenomenon, with the most prevalent being the tendency for
Wikipedia pages to move up a "classification chain." According to this theory, the Wikipedia Manual of
Style guidelines on how to write the lead section of an article recommend that the article should start by
defining the topic of the article, so that the first link of each page will naturally take the reader into a
broader subject, eventually ending in wide-reaching pages such as Mathematics, Science, Language, and
of course, X.
150. 23.
Just a few years ago, X was living in Syria and married to Y, who would become the most influential
American member of ISIS. Together they traveled the globe, befriending jihadis and grooming their children
to become “assassins.” X was 14 during al-Qaeda’s 9/11 attacks and said she became “jihadi hardcore”
shortly afterwards, while allegedly associating with a group of fundamentalist Algerians. But after ten years
of living on the run, X began to fear for her family’s safety. That’s when she says her husband abandoned
her "to become the next Osama bin Laden.” In a new documentary from The Atlantic, called " '_____ _____'- A
new life in Texas for the _____ ____ __ ____" based on original reporting from Graeme Wood, the former
extremist details her experience returning to the United States and building a new life in Plano, Texas with
the family of her ex-husband.
153. 24.
X is the easing of strained relations, especially in a political situation. The term originates in the
time of the Triple Entente and Entente cordiale in reference to an easing of tensions between
England and France who, subsequent to being commingled polities under Norman rule, were
